My newest obsession (Posted 2008)

I love to text...LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I was introduced to the world of texting by my bff. It was her main form of communication. I was unaware of it's power...so naive, was I.

It is so exciting. I never knew. I was a texting nay-sayer..."Oh that is dumb...why not just call the person". Well, NOW I KNOW! As a person who has A LOT of random thoughts in a day it is a LIFESAVER...more for my friends than for me. I used to be the "over-caller"...I had a thought and it HAD to be released at that exact moment. HEEEELLLLLO texting. I can send my random thoughts (ex. "Big sale on Luvs at Weis Markets! or "OMG, there is a strapless one-piece denim shorts phenomenon going on here...It is everywhere and I have yet to see someone look good in it!" - Yep, actually sent that one once...I was FRIGHTENED!) And my friends can respond when they have a moment...IF they even feel like it.

I am not too concerned when I don't get a response...I tend to send a lot of random thoughts that might not need to be conversed about (see why a phone call would be time-consuming and unnecessary?) Now, I am not saying that I don't ENJOY a response...When my phone vibrates and lights up like it is Christmas telling me that someone has just taken the time to send me a thought I get EXCITED. I mean, really, someone is choosing to communicate with me...and I LOVE that. Sometimes I love it more than actually speaking to the individual...I love to send cheesy little quips back and forth...I do this a lot with two friends in particular...So fun. Anyway, that is my new obsession...If you don't text you should really check into it. It is dirt cheap and, once you get that hang of your keyboard, SO much easier than calling.
